Hi guys, Accu-map is the mapping division of Asiatype which creates those beautiful Metro Manila Citiatlas maps. Last year, they partnered with AVT ( http://www.avt.ph/ ) to bring routable GPS navigation for cars and released their P18.5k Navigator A800 product early this year.
Anyway, check out Accu-maps forums (http://www.accu-map.com/forum/index.php) where the AVT users talk about the map data provided by Accu-map. Register and check out all the interesting threads. The "Bugs & Fixes" thread under the "Metro Manila" sub-forum is an eye-opener in particular since users are pointing out weird routings and the like. I think it's because the users paid P18.5k for this so that's why they are passionate (and sometimes irritated) when they get suboptimal (or even illegal) routing. I really think we can learn a thing or two from the forums there. Two advantages of OSM is that 1) we're free (so users lower their expectations) and 2) they can help fix the data themselves instead of just filing bug reports. :-) Eugene / seav -- http://vaes9.codedgraphic.com
